Under pressure over high bills, LADWP to consider relief proposals

The Board of Commissioners is set to consider proposals Tuesday to provide relief to customers facing high utility bills after weeks of heat waves. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Board of Commissioners is set to discuss proposals to help people with high bills. The meeting comes amid anger from LADWP customers who have complained about unaffordable bills and demanded answers rather than relief. Mayor Karen Bass has called for an independent audit of LADW rates and for the board to increase LADWD's energy efficiency rebate program by 25%. Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who is running against Bass for mayor, has called on an independent review of LADSWP's rate structure and billing. The mayor's proposal for the audit is a start, but Reed believes there needs to be more.
